I am a typical computer science person, having studied the typical math topics an undergraduate would study. The topic area I spent the most time on (besides computer science) would be calculus. I have been out of college for a few years, but I find myself missing mathematics. What are some topics/areas of math that I didn't know I needed in my life? Doesn't have to be practical, could be purely for intellectual interest. But practical/useful topics would be welcome too of course.

Here are some things I have already studied:

  - Calculus
    - Differential, Integral, Sequences and Series, Vector (partial differential equations, gradients, Lagrange multipliers)
  - Statistics and Probability basics
    - normal distributions, hypothesis testing ("rejecting null hypothesis"), combinations/permutations
  - Linear Algebra
    - matrices, vector spaces
  - Abstract algebra concepts from my studies in Functional Programming
    - monads, monoids, higher order functions
  - Discrete Structures and other CS stuff
    - proof theory, set theory basics, logic, boolean algebra, graph theory
  - Computer Science
    - Deterministic Finite Automata, Grammars, Turing Machines (and Chomsky hierarchy of languages)
    - Fractals, Cellular Automata
    - Algorithms and analysis of algorithms
    - alternative number system: base 2 number system (binary)

Recommend me something new!
